He states: “Of course, I see a possibility of me continuing here. I don’t know. I think that, in the end, with a bit of luck, Aston Villa and I will reach the same conclusion. It’s possible that me leaving will suit them. If that’s the case, then it will be much easier.

“I don’t get bored of saying it, because it’s true, that I’m really happy here. Deportivo has given me a lot of confidence, at the beginning and throughout the season. We’ll see how everything unfolds.”
